Instant Reaction: Oakland 20 – Ravens 55

INSTANT REACTION:

Matt Jergensen:

You want a dominant victory? There you go. Should be interesting in the next three games. If the Ravens can get that offense to travel they will be tough.

Gene Winner:

We see why special teams is so important, the Ravens unit accounted for 20 points. Oakland looked undisciplined and both their fourth down attempts on offense ended in miscues (simply bad execution). We all know the Ravens have to bring this type of intensity and consistency on the road–it starts next week with a tough road game in Pittsburgh. What I liked is that the younger players on defense are stepping up–such as, DT DeAngelo Tyson and DE/OLB Courtney Upshaw. OLB Kruger had one of his better games as well.

Jonathan Scruggs:

Matt hit the nail on the head. Why can’t this team play this well on the road? This is a dominating team at M&T and a middling Teams at best on the road. if they hope to win long term they have to get it done down the stretch. Not here against sub par talent in a hospital environment in Baltimore.
